Free My Soul: TJ Showcase

Good Morning Junkies! Hope everyone had a chance to check out the fantastic inspiration from yesterday's blog hop. Today I am also showcasing another May new release stamp. And remember all MAY new releases are 15% off this week on the TJ website, so be sure to check out all the new designs. Today's feature is: Free My Soul. I am a music lover so when I saw this stamp I was so excited to use it in a project.

I stamped this image using Ranger Distress Ink Brushed Courdoroy on Neenah Solar White card stock, trimmed and matted it onto black card stock. For the layered backgrounds I used Bo Bunny patterned paper (black and white sheet music) and made second layer using a TCW stencil. I like how this design reminds me of sound waves reverberating as the music plays!

Using Distress ink (browns,pumice stone and black soot) on watercolor paper, I created a mono print of the stencil. The edges were inked with Vintage Photo and two pieces of tissue tape added for some additional texture. The little music note embellishment was created from a piece of chipboard colored with black soot distress and pewter Perfect Pearls.

About Me

I first became interested in paper crafts back in 1998 when I purchased my first "scrapbooking" kit from the Creative Memories consultant at the Big E. After getting the stuff home, I realized I wasn't really interested in scrapbooking, but loved paper and inks! Immediately I turned to card making and stamping and over the years my style and love has changed greatly. While I still love making the clean and simple cards and projects, my passion is for anything and everything grunge and inky.
